A chunk of road collapsed due to severe flooding in central Thailand on Sunday.

A section of the highway in Ang Thong province buckled under the deluge, leaving part of it impassable to motorists.

Footage shows the floods cascading down the caved-in road shoulder into a stream below on October 3.

Authorities later set up barriers to prevent drivers from coming too close to the hole.

Heavy rain has been battering large parts of Thailand for the last three months. The torrential weather was compounded by Typhoon Noru, which brought severe deluges to the northeast region causing floods and overflowing rivers.

Typhoon Noru made landfall in Vietnam last Wednesday and weakened to a tropical depression as it moved into Thailand on Thursday, September 29.

One person in Thailand's Sisaket province died when powerful winds knocked a tree onto a pickup truck, injuring two others inside. While in the Philippines, where Noru first struck, at least 10 people were killed and an estimated 50,000 displaced by the severe weather.
